It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah Nafi’ bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was walking with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while he was holding my hand, and a man was walking on his left side. Suddenly, two graves appeared before us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These two are being punished, and they are not being punished for a major sin, although (these sins are indeed major). Who among you will bring a stick? Upon hearing this, both of us rushed, but I got ahead and brought a stick. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) split it into two parts, placed one part on one grave and the other part on the other grave, and said: As long as these remain fresh, their punishment will be lessened. And they are being punished because of urine and tale-bearing.
